A liquid discharge head includes: a channel substrate having a nozzle and a channel communicating with the nozzle; a driving element arranged on the channel substrate; and a driving signal generating circuit which generates a driving signal to drive the driving element. The driving signal includes a non-discharge driving signal by which the driving element is driven so that liquid in the channel is not discharged from the nozzle. The non-discharge driving signal includes at least one first slight-vibration waveform and at least one second slight-vibration waveform. The first slight-vibration waveform is a waveform by which the driving element is displaced by a first displacement amount. The second slight-vibration waveform is a waveform by which the driving element is displaced by a second displacement amount that is larger than the first displacement amount. The at least one second slight-vibration waveform follows after the at least one first slight-vibration waveform.
